Ideally positioned across from Lake Cannon and near Lake Mirror on the scenic Winter Haven Chain of Lakes, the property is surrounded by tree-lined streets, beautifully preserved older homes, and refreshing lake breezes. Curb appeal shines with a textured stucco exterior, arched windows, mature palms, and an oversized double lot. A covered two-car carport, new concrete driveway, detached workshop, and professional landscaping complete the exterior.
Inside, the home offers warm, inviting spaces filled with architectural detail. The formal living room features Saltillo tile floors, beadboard ceilings, and arched windows overlooking lush gardens. Nearby, the family room showcases original hardwood floors, a coved ceiling, and a gas-burning brick fireplace. A cozy computer nook provides a convenient work or study area. The formal dining room highlights softly curved ceilings, arched transitions, and charming glass-front corner built-ins.
The updated kitchen blends vintage styling with modern function—wood cabinetry, soft-close drawers, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry with laundry connections. Three bedrooms and two beautifully remodeled baths include a primary suite with French doors opening directly to the rear patio.
Outdoor living is exceptional, with a private patio and a large backyard ideal for entertaining, gardening, or relaxing. The detached 18x19 workshop—complete with roll-up door, electricity, and concrete slab—offers space for woodworking, storage, or hobby use.
Just minutes from downtown Winter Haven, shopping, dining, medical facilities, and major highways, this move-in-ready historic home provides quick access to public boat ramps and the full Chain of Lakes lifestyle. A rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully restored Spanish bungalow where character and modern updates blend seamlessly.
